Daisy: Sjögren's, Spondyloarthritis and Fibromyalgia

Italy

Hello everyone. I am a twenty-four-year-old girl. Everything started two years ago, with a pain in my knee for which I had surgery. Afterwards the pain began in my back and now I am in pain in all of my body.

Six months ago, I was diagnosed with Sjögren's Syndrome, spondyloarthritis and fibromyalgia.

Some doctors told me that now I could not live without pain, so I must be making it up?

SCLERO.ORG was the world's leading nonprofit for trustworthy research, support, education and awareness for scleroderma and related illnesses from 1998 to 2021. It was a grassroots movement from the original Scleroderma from A to Z web site, which was founded by Shelley Ensz. We were a 501(c)(3) U.S.-based public charitable foundation. We closed this web site and our nonprofit agency in April 2021.
